   Five Ways to Utilize StudyMate

  1. Students can use a game as an individual study aid to review Unit/Chapter concepts.
  2. A game can be embedded at the end of a Unit lecture that covers key words and concepts.  Students are required to send a picture or printscreen shot of the final results of the game to the instructor.
  3. Before completing an assignment, students are required to complete a game that covers learning objectives or concepts targeted in the assignment.
  4. Games are perfect self-checks for students before taking an exam;  allows students to monitor their learning before being evaluated.
  5. After a threaded discussion that emphasized several learning outcomes in a Unit, embed a game that summarizes what the students learned in the discussion.
